I've noticed that a significant fraction of people who are really good at what they do (programming wise) don't look like 'typical' geeks. Just casual people. Even plenty of PhDs. I don't think people who have reasonable experience with coders will judge you like that. If my potential boss judges me for my hair cut, choose of jacket, etc. -- oh well, there are plenty of jobs available elsewhere. It's a red flag for me. If some one random judges that some one is not a good programmer because of their style - why should anyone give a crap about that? I don't need validation from some one random, probably you don't either :) So just calm down, and continue writing good apps :)
